EVEN WORSE THAN WE &amp;gt; THOUGHT . Result of Taking Depositions by The Ohio Farmer in the Case Broug ^«; ^ ainst It by the Farmers Co-operative Harvesting Machine Company , for Li . In our issue of Oct . 20 , 1906 , we published an editorial article stating that we had received a large number of letters from our readers asking our advice concerning their investing in the stock of the Farmers Co-operative Harvesting Machine Co ., of Springfield . O ., which concern had agents gc - ing about the country selling stock .

In our issue of Nov . 24 , an editorial article stated that letters had been re ceived from William N . Whitely demanding that we publish a retrac...

C . , The undorsignod respectfully urge the puactnieut of legislation amending the laws governing tno distillation or alcohol . So as to permit tanners or other persona wishing to produce alcohol on a small scale to distill it in suitable locked stills , and to have it denatured without the expense of a denaturing bonded warehouse ; and authorizing the Commissioner of Internal Revouuo to prescribe regulations permitting the transportation of denatured alcohol in tank cars . 1 he purpose , of the desired legislation is to reduce the cost of denatured alcohol by giving greater facilities for its production and distribution . Under the present laws relating to this subject , alcohol intended to be denatured and sold without payment of internal revenue tax , must be produced under the same conditions as distilled beverage spirits . These conditions tend to limit the production...

GROWING TURNIPS . Turnips grow best on a low , flnfi , rich and well-drained soil . The ground should be plowed in the spring the same as for other spring crops . Stir the soil well and keep it smooth and free from weeds until about the middle of August . Harrow up well and mark in rows about 15 inches apart and drill in enough seed to insure a good stand . Press the seed rows down well with a heavy wheel or by tramping and then rake smooth again . This method of preparing the ground will give the turnips the start of the weeds so they can be kept clean with a wheel hoe . We usually wait until the turnips are about two inches high and then clean out between the rows with a blade hoe . As soon as the weeds have dried up we clean out the rows and thin the plants to about six or eight inches apart . The crop should be kept clean , of course , but we usually find that this one thorough weeding is sufficient . We prefer the pur-ple-topped , white-fleshed sorts , either flat or globular ....

Barnyard Manure Best Methods of Handling , Applying , etc . Farmers generally understand that where manure is exposed to the weather , or where it is piled in heaps and allowed to stand , more or less loss results . But how great this loss may be is as yet not fully appreciated . Years ago Dr . Voelcker , chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society of England , showed that when manure was thrown into an open barnyard and allowed to lie for a few months it lost from half to two-thirds of its total fertilizing value . That is , for every ton of actual manure hauled out of the barnyard two or three tons were thrown into it . This work has been confirmed in the laboratories of the Cornell University and Ohio State Experiment Stations . These laboratory tests have been supplemented by field tests at the Ohio Station which have now been going on for 10 years , and which show the following average increase from the two kinds of manure , the manure being applied at the rate of eight tons per ...

[ LIVE STOCK 1 THE DRAFT HORSE . WILL IT PAY THE AVERAGE FARMER TO KEEP PUBE-BRED DRAFT MARES ? ( Paper by W . J . Kennedy , Iowa Agricultural College , read before the Iowa State Farmers Institute . ) There is a peculiar pleasure always in helping some industry at a time when you feel sure that there is a bright future before the same . Some of you may be thinking that the business of producing draft horses has seen Its best days , and that a reaction is close at hand . You may be right in your convictions . Time alone will tell the tale . There does not appear to be any sane reason for believing that the horse industry has not a bright future . To all appearances about the only thing that can injure the demand for good horses in the near future would be a depression in all lines of business . For several years the demand for good draft horses has been unusually good . Each succeeding year has been a trifle better than its predecessor , until at the present time high-class draft ho...

DO OLD EWES PAY ? I have read several articles In The Ohio Parmer condemning the old ewe , hut find in my experience that a small flock of old ewes can he kept with profit . Owing to the scarcity and high price of young ewes , not every farm-

FEEDING PREGNANT EWES . The feeding of pregnant ewes during the winter months is of vital importance in directing ultimate results at parturition . If there is a mistake made that is more prevalent than another , in the management of the ewe flock by the larger majority of flockmasters , it is insufficient attention to essential details important to both parent and unborn progeny during the period of pregnancy . Not infrequently flockmasters are confronted with serious perplexing problems at the critical period of parturition and because of insufficient evidence to determine cause , are unable to rectify their difficulty . A large number of flockmasters still adhere to the impression that difficulty at parturition is brought about from some immediate cause , while in reality the foundation might have been laid several months previous . Such troubles as generally accompany difficult parturition , or feeble progeny at birth , are invariably deeper-seated than local cause and therefore...

LAMENESS . —NO . 3 . Another very common cause of lameness is foot punctures , and strange to say , nearly every horse shoer in this country , and I might say all over the world , invariably treats wounds of this kind wrong . Horse shoers , and I might say stock men , almost invariably remove the shoe , cut out the foot with a dirty knife , pour turpentine into wound , and either have the shoe re-set or return him to a dirty stable , the floor being covered with filth . Can you call to mind a better way to ruin a valuable horse ? In these days of antiseptic surgery , every reader of this paper must know how medical practitioners treat wounds . You all know how extremely careful physicians are to have clean surroundings , use clean , sterilized instruments when operating , and to keep all dirt and microbic germs out of wounds . What respect would you have for your family physician if you called him to treat a nail puncture on you , if he used no cleanliness , and poured turpentine in...
